I will approach it with the same 3-step strategy that I use to approach all new maps.

1. First I will studiously avoid the map and refuse to be seen on it.2. Eventually I will get ambushed with it while playing Random maps, at which point I will throw a massive tantrum, randomly attack anything I see, swear that all mapmakers are &^W#s and deserve to be _____ed, and otherwise behave like a lunatic.3. About six months later I'll give it a second chance, and analyze it more closely. I might even decide I like it.

I agree with Agentcom the tail and legs seem the easiest bonuses to defend, but might turn out to become huge fighting zones at the beginning with everyone focusing on them. Also, I do think the head+neck are interesting, provided you can take both. +6 for 2 borders seems like a pretty sweet deal.

Also I can imagine a lot of players immediately taking an autodeploy region at the beginning of the game, especially in escalating.
